The new year is a great time for a new look. I am referring to my house and not myself. This is the furniture that was in our basement until early December. This is 1/2 the sectional with the end section in our room because it wouldn’t fit in the basement room.
And then I saw this image in the Pottery Barn catalog and I was ready to make a move.. as in moving furniture.
Our my decision to simply flip the leather couch and oversize chair and ottoman with the suede-like fabric (blanking on the name of the fabric covering) sectional in our basement. So with a free hour on a Saturday night my {first} husband and I moved the upstairs furniture set to the basement and literally flipped the sectional pieces to the family room (envision your couch doing a cartwheel up the stairs) .
And, we LOVED IT! We both LOVED IT! How often does that happen?
Here is my interpretation of the Pottery Barn sectional layout in our family room:
And, here is my interpretation of my “new” scctional. This view is taken from my kitchen dining area:
I love it! It has lightened up the room so much:
It’s amazing the changes just mixing up the furniture:
At one point our large couch was against the wall. The door in the background leads out onto our front deck. See that project HERE. So we wanted access to the door and I really wanted a sofa table behind the couch. I am obsessed with keeping furniture away from the walls if at all possible.
Here is the sofa table that I snagged from the dining room and put behind the back of the couch section that is in front of deck door and windows:
So, I did have to do a little staging to take these photos. Here is the crap I tossed aside to stage it:
Here’s a view from the back of the room:
It’s amazing how just moving furniture around can change the entire feel of a room! And, it took about an hour!

How great that you already had the sectional as it looks lovely in there. I would that much seating in our family room one day.
Thank you Elizabeth! It was a Saturday night, no plans kinda night, that literally had us flipping the couch up the stairs!!!! laura
Perfect, the room is just right now. It does help to get ideas from magazines sometimes. Thanks for sharing at the Cabin!
What a great room! I love rearranging furniture and your new set up looks awesome!
I love how this room turned out! I know what you mean about re arranging furniture, and how it totally give a room a new feeling. I would love to move my sofa from our living room away from the wall, I do love how PB stages their rooms just right.
Pure awesomeness. What a beautiful home and I love when people change things up while just using what they have. Thanks for sharing.

I like your new arrangement! I love the honest picture of the stuff you raked out before making the beauty shots.
I’m always amazed at much fresher things look when I just move them around! Love your new look. So fun to start a new year with some inspiration!
And it cost nothing! Thanks for comment! laura
